WTH?
Hadn't even heard the song or seen the video.
Here it is.

There's a second 4th gen in it - silver sex spec one that has (among others) Hond-R sticker in the rear quarter lights.

Don't recognise either car.
I wonder where they got them both from and where they attached the crane to the 4th gen???

Pretty scant details in the arsebook advert and that's asking way too much for a car with no MOT and a list of advisories that long.
It's not clear whether the pics are before the video or after (the bubble lip kit front lip is hanging off in the video but firmly attached in the photos and on one of the photo's the rear value sport lip is fitted and the other it's removed).

Usual crap example of how not to sell a car...
